Today I had the pleasure of going to 3rd Impala Cub Scouts in Boksburg to do a Star Pack Evaluation.

The theme was yummy "chocolate" ..... they could not have had a nicer programme for Akela Joy as chocolate is my favourite vegetable ... (please don't tell me chocolate is not a vegetable!)

This is such a good idea.Take lots of different sweet wrappers and paste them onto cardboard - making sure there is 2 of everything. Play the memory game whereby a cub turns over 2 cards and if they match, he gets another turn. If not, someone else has a turn to match wrappers.

Next was a Kim's Game where the cubs were blindfolded and had to smell a number of wonderous items.

Mmmm... could that be peanut butter?

Tastes good!

Another good idea was to take a box and cut a small hole in it. Place something inside the box and let the cubs "peep" inside to see what is hidden.

Can you guess what is inside the box?

Now just look at this !!!!

Yummy stuff...

Take some marshmallows...

some melted chocolate...

and some coloured sugar sticks....

place the marshmallow on the stick and dip in chocolate and let set.

Some singing to keep the spirits up..

and then onto throwing the dice to get a 6.

Please take a look at the dice.

The cubs had to throw a 6

Race to put a scarf and cap on

and then cut a piece of chocolate with a knife and fork and then only eat it!

Everyone had a turn to throw this huge dice and eat a tiny piece of chocolate.

All in all this was a lovely programme.

Thanks to Akela Kate and all the Leaders for making it such fun for the cubs.
